On October 28, 2026, CTO Realty Growth entered into agreements that add BofA Securities as an additional sales agent and forward seller in its existing at-the-market common stock offering program, which covers up to $250 million of shares.

The filing does not state an amount BofA has sold or plans to sell, so the program's effect on shareholders depends on future share sales.

BofA Securities, Inc. or an affiliate is added as sales agent, forward seller and forward purchaser.
